The slow startup without speech is a separate problem. Someone posted on the
list that it's a bug, and the results are the same for me whether I checked
that box or not.
Most of the time I just close everything before logging out.

Hi Veronica,
Well, if I have the restore Windows at startup option checked, I'm now getting
speech. Since it's going to remain checked anyway, I figure I might as well
now leave it at that setting; it was unchecked before. Unless I cannot

I usually have to alt-tab to my desktop when I first boot up.
Sometimes VO talks and sometimes it doesn't.

Hi Ann,
The problem is that regardless of whether the box is checked or not in System
Preferences, when you go to shut down or restart under Lion, the Windows
checkbox is checked. I confirmed this behavior after speaking with an Apple
rep. He stated, and it is apparently the case, that one ha
Thanks again, Anne, Ricardo and everyone for the help. And yes, that
silly check box that would reopen all windows in any application was
unchecked the first time I snooped around in the general tab of
system preferences.
Is there one place where the Lion changes or differences are
described? T
Hello Veronica,
It's best to start from the document rather than the application. Find your
document and press Cmd-o and when VoiceOver says "Edit text", interact and all
the VoiceOver commands will work.
However, before trying that, open System Preferences and go to the General pane
and unche
Hi,
this is because text edit is opening with no document. So, if you want a new
document, press command N. If you want to brows and open an existing document,
at launch of text edit, you should be placed into the browser. if you press
the down arrow, this should be confirmed.

Okay, continuing.
First, I did double-check my settings in the navis indeesection of

Here's what happens when I open a file in Text edit. First I open the

Hello Veronica,
Quite a lot has changed from Snow Leopard to Lion. One of the most annoying is
that, by default, windows left open are not closed when you quit an
application. You can change this behaviour in System Preferences. Go to the
General pane and look for the check box labelled Restore
Hi Veronica.
The reason that text edit isn't bringing up the save dialog when you quit it,
is because of versions.
If you want this to come up, press command S or close the window containing the
document.
This is a feature to help people who have a bad habit of closing things and not
saving them
Hello; but if you are editing html its another reason to create a back up file

I will check the setting in the voiceOver utility to see how they're

Hi Veronica
Pages does something different then TextEdit. Pages makes a backup file that
actually says back up before the name of your file in it. This has saved me a
few times.
I also got myself a drive that would work with Time Machine. Time machine is a
program that does automatic backups eve

I have a new MacBook air and this is my first adventure with
